Quote from: FlyingJunk on November 26, 2022, 11:12:44 AMI wonder if this is a problem with Firefox - multiple failed attempts with my favourite browser but as soon as I switched to Edge (just for this!) the archive downloaded and unzipped normally.

It's not an exclusive FF problem. Had the same issue with Vivaldi (downloaded only about 50MB at 100kb/s). Dropbox link worked fine of course.

On another PC the download worked fine.

I use WinRAR 6.11 for unzipping. But the problem was an incorrect/incomplete download. I'm using no download manager and anti virus had been disabled. It's a bit strange because I don't have any download problems on other websites.

For others: if you get any problems, try another device.

Same problem here. I tried it with Vivaldi, Opera, Firefox ESR 102 and JDownloader 2 but always incomplete or corrupt.

The irony is, this bad connection string gets listed at the start of every log file, so it's been staring me in the face the whole time! (but it's presented as a data location, not as a connection string)

Nevermind, shit happens.[size=78%] [/size] :laugh:

Yes, I'm running 167 which seems to work perfect. 166 made lots of errors with custom scenery.
I'll keep fingers crossed that the issue is solved forever.  :)

Fantastic work, database is now building correctly on my vanilla installation and is 229MB in size.  :)
Where was the problem?

Yup, builds fine with 11.40. The database size has increased to 235MB. (attached)

I'm really surprised, expected much more. Do you have SQL Server installed on your PC?
If you have a VM without SQL Server and such things, could you try again there? It's a very strange issue.

My X-Plane is default, although possibly not the latest. I can run an update on it and see if that makes a difference.

I think this will make the difference, because your database will grow up to 256MB+. Until 11.36 it's less than 256MB. With 226MB I think you have 11.26.


You mentioned some time ago that not everyone has this issue. I think that's because they've not build the database with 11.40 and in former times didn't have much scenery addons. It would be interesting if someone could make a successful build with 11.40 data.


Maybe this help:

Maybe a smaller max. size like 1024MB (should be enough) or 0 could help. But let's see if you can reproduce the issue after updating to 11.40.


P.S.: I've installed SQL Server 3.5 Compact SP2 Runtime.

How big is your PlanG3_XPX.sdf? Bigger than 256MB?


I think this is an interesting line:

Quote16:58:09.5 Write Intersection 13 : The database file is larger than the configured maximum database size. This setting takes effect on the first concurrent database connection only. [ Required Max Database Size (in MB; 0 if unknown) = 257 ]

I got this error message already 2 years ago:

No, this is my test installation without any scenery addons (only a few libraries without Earth nav data folder). Also no Navigraph or something like that. This is X-Plane how you get it.

It's throwing a different error, and looks like it's having general problems.
Try deleting the database file (D:\Eigene Dateien\Eigene Programmdateien\Plan-G Files\Data\PlanG3_XPX.sdf) and rebooting before having another go.

Exactly the same, the database is too big (256MB and then the generation crashes). New log is in the attachment.

Sadly the issue still exists. Here is the new log:

Here is the log:

Unfortunately the issue still exists and grew up: old PlanG3_XPX.sdf databases seem to be not compatible anymore and I don't see any airports anymore.

With a clean X-Plane 11.40 installation without addons the database exceeds it's maximum size of 256MB in Plan-G 3.2.2. With Plan-G 3.1.4 and lots of addons there is no problem for me.

Ok, thanks. Isn't there any way to increase the possible database size? Which database format are you using?
With the growing scenery gateway this could become a serious problem in future.
